Bottle labels

[Simon David kelly]

I'm looking for some labels for the case swap beers...

 

I can't find any that are the correct size for a 750ml bottle that goes almost 1/2 way around and is about 80% of the main body height.

 

Anyone know where I can get labels like that?

Are you planning on printing them yourself? I think Avery do an A4 sheet which is one big label. You could lay out the labels to the correct size and guillotine them? Fiddly but better than nothing.

I was thinking of that, but I tried it before and it came out quite bad ...

I've see a roll of labels of about the right size, but can't find out what they were and where they came from ... was a few years ago.

I just laser print them onto A4, cut them with a craft knife and ruler, and use milk to stick them to the bottles. Works well but a bit time consuming.

A pretty sad way considering printing is my full time job haha.

haha ... I worked for Rolls-Royce and still had to take my mini to the specialist ...

I finally found some labels that look large enough, 8 to an A4 sheet. Not all that good paper ($14 for 160 labels), but'll go through my crappy printer.

Fortunately the beers better than the label will be ....

You use Milk?? Bro, no wonder yours allways come off in the box :oP Such a shame cos your labels are allways good IMO

Naaaaaaaaaaaaah bro, those ones came off because I didn't have any milk and resorted to cream haha.

I labeled that barley wine with milk, was all proud and showed my girlfriend, then she told me that the date on it was wrong, so I had to pull all the labels off and redo it. They stuck pretty well, but came off real easy with a quick soak in water.

Green top milk > full fat cream.
